Introduction

Globalization, often described as the interconnectedness of nations through trade, technology, culture, and knowledge, has had a profound effect on education policies worldwide. Education, once primarily designed to address national priorities, is now influenced by global benchmarks, international collaborations, and cross-border mobility of students and professionals. Governments face the dual challenge of aligning their systems with international standards while preserving cultural identity, addressing local socio-economic realities, and ensuring inclusivity.
